Football, Marotta: “Inter fell short by a hair for the Scudetto. The Champions League? A second final is a great source of pride”

Milan, May 26 (LaPresse) – “We began this season with the aim of doing something important and remarkable, and reaching a second Champions League final in two years is incredible. But we didn’t neglect the other competitions: we reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, and in the league we missed the title by just a hair. I take this opportunity to congratulate Napoli, who played 19 fewer matches than us. That shows how much energy we spent, in a context where the mental and physical factors play a major role,” said Inter president Beppe Marotta during the Media Day press conference ahead of the Champions League final against PSG.

On the Champions League: “It’s the most prestigious competition, and for us it's a great source of pride to be in the final for the second year in a row. Credit goes to the work done by the team, especially our coach, as well as to the ownership, who have supported us intelligently—always present, but without interference,” added Marotta.
